Seven goals at Camp Nou

Clàudia Pina's four goals took Barça Femení to a 7–0 Clásico win, and the men's team returns from the break to face Getafe with a record start in reach.

Writing about Barça in English since 2009. One dispatch after each round of matches: five topics, the men's team and the Femení, nothing in between.

  1. 01FemeníClàudia Pina scored four in Barça Femení's 7–0 Clásico winClàudia Pina scored three times in the first 32 minutes and once more before half-time as Barça Femení beat Real Madrid 7–0 at Camp Nou. Madrid came in two points behind at the top of Liga F and left five behind.
  2. 02La MasiaA week after a world title, Aïcha Camara started the ClásicoAïcha Camara won the Under-20 World Cup with Spain on 27 September, came off the bench in Rome three days later and played all 90 minutes against Real Madrid on Sunday. Four other Barça players came home with the same medal, and Pere Romeu, the Femení's head coach, now has to decide how much of the season to trust them with.
  3. 03SquadA short squad list for five matches in 16 daysLamine Yamal scored in all three of Spain's Nations League matches, and Raphinha came home from Brazil with oedema in his right thigh. Andreas Christensen and Frenkie de Jong are still out and Eric García has a knee problem, with five matches in 16 days to come.
  4. 04TacticsGetafe have scored four league goals all seasonGetafe, 11th in La Liga, come to Camp Nou on 10 October without an away goal this season. They slow matches down with long balls, fouls and set pieces, and Barça have not played a club game for three weeks.
  5. 05ClubMembers still lack an account of the Negreira caseUEFA confirmed on 1 October that it had received documents from Real Madrid for its Negreira investigation, and Barça said the UEFA case had not been reopened because it had never been closed. Both the UEFA file and the Spanish criminal case remain open, and the board has told members little about either.
